Durability, Long Life, Maintenance Free

The heritage of the system, commonly called a rain screen system or rainscreen system, dates back to the Vikings of Scandinavia and the late 12th Century. Barns and stave churches still survive today and the quality of the wood and the design of the rainscreen system are the reason. Today many designers and builders strive to create the “100 year house”, by learning from our past we can certainly meet and exceed that goal. We have designed the Climate-Shield Rainscreen Wood Siding System as an important tool for 21st century builders to create and build sustainable and living structures that can stand for centuries.

Horizontal or Vertical Rainscreen Installation

The unique rainscreen system allows the design team to use either softwood or hardwood. The material selected can be installed in the normal horizontal fashion, but now you are free to install on the vertical or diagonal and still have all the efficiencies of a rain screen system.

And you can use a conventional corner treatment, or create unique designs with stunning contrast of color or shape. The corner system also provides amazing protection for the wood right where it needs it.

Climate Shield allows Architects, builders and owners the flexibility to install rain screen siding horizontally, vertically or even diagonally without having to worry about how to layer furring strips or creating complicated designs for horizontal furring strips.

There is no need to worry about water being trapped behind traditional furring strips because the clip is the furring strip. In addition the cost of the furring strips and the cost to install them is eliminated from the building budget.

The revolutionary extruded Aluminum corner system provides the architect with limitless options to use different textures, colors, styles - you can even create your very own signature corner piece.
